Idea contribution medal:

Any idea that makes it to the final game deserves its medal. We will be keeping a list of ideas at your disposal very soon. We already have a good list.

1 idea that makes it to the full game Level 13 ideas that make it to the full game Level 25 or more ideas that make it to the full game Level 3

Please remember that we cannot accept all the ideas that you put forward. Even though we would like to we have to prioritise. Of course we like to hear them all :). Medals are awarded on weekly team meetings. You should act nicely towards Unsung and Sol because they are already a part of the project meetings :))).

3D Model Contribution Medal

1 model of basic fighter, weapon or any other low-poly object Level 13 models of basic fighter, weapon or any other low-poly object or one bigger mothership model Level 2Any work more than that will grant you a Level 3 medal. In that case we will probably invite you into our team :) and it will be up to you to accept.

Any contributors that will show an exceptional dedication to the game will probably invited to our team because we are a game that is made by the community for the community :). Keep all the things coming guys! Without you this project would not have a chance.

I've post lots of topic on the more familiar websites we know these days.:P And trying to keep the topics on top of the list by posting on them before they go under water:) People are recieving the game pretty well.

... in the long run? how long do you expect this to take (to get to 1500) cause at the rate i'm going... about... *gets out calculator*... about 5.6 clicks a day so...35 days for a 1st degree medal... 267 days for a second degree medal... 447 days for a 3rd degree medal. (holy crap! I need to take some Super High Intensity Training!)

How does it work when you get medal 1. So we're able to style our ship. How will this work? Do we have to make them ourself and send it in and you guys intergrate it into the miningship? Or does a new function opens up on the forum or in the game where you can custimize it, however we want it?

I think that last thing maybe turns out the best. How ever i takes tons of times to make such system i think. To prevent that shipmodels are inapropiate. All the changes should get through a check on the office at keensoftware. After that if everything is right. It will get a green light.

i may only get to lvl 1, but maby lvl 2 modeling in one hit... ill try for the mmodeling and let spread the word take a back burner. i know iv already got atleast lvl 1 ideas(maby; destructable items, way to make fluids possible, getting out of ships using a human model, an extra vehicular termanal using prev idea, and something else have ...to ... research... MYSELF!!1!!one!!! never thought id say that)

you know what ... i think i'm going to try to draft a human figure in a space suit :/ a new challenge? if you push b for bailout your ship explodes any you are left floating with nothing but a suit, a pistol, and hope(or less) or e and your ship remains but a figure is put next to it that you control instead, and you slowly drift away with little controll from a small jetpack.

ill get that free copy yet, if it means i have to draw the world, or burn it.

I'm probably just going to buy the game when beta comes out >_> I mean why not its not like I have any USE for money other than buying games /sarcastic... I Think this game will be an easier sell when beta comes out and I better get a beta key(mostly so I can make vids) or else ("or else what?"... "or else doom")

Hey Henk!Congrats on your first medal award! Maybe you can share with other guys how you think you succeeded in your mission and add some links here just to show how you managed it. I can see it all in analytics but its better if you share it with others :).Btw Darkone in total youre on 183 visits even though you have not used the affiliate I still count you as a VIP contributor :)). I will let you know as soon as you reach the golden 250 mark hehehe.Hey Active you are well on the way of reaching it too btw. Zevs links have slowly died maybe you should refresh it hehe. Oh and guys have a look at Dark Prophecy forums maybe you can hunt a few heads there :) - just a tip. They already have too much fans :D

First of all. I've been thinking about how to bring the news over to other people. Without looking it too much like advertising. So i start making up a little story summarying what the game has to offer. Secondly i start registeren and tons of different and familiar websites. On each website i posted it under different sections under xbox 360 and pc. Third thing that happens is that people take a look at it and start to respond wich can be negative or positive (Ignore the negative once and don't go into discussions with them. That will only make you look bad). So start to comunicate with those who are interested and try to write enthousiastic towards those people. Fourth thing that will happen then is that topics are starting to get abandonded and then it's up to you to make it lively again and to bring it in the spotlights again. Once someone posts. Don't immediatly react on that. Wait until the topic gets on the second page on the forums, then start reacting so you've got an good reason to 'bump' it.

Most of you guys noticed it already that your topic is getting viewed alot. but almost no one clicks on the link. it is a timerobbing thing to get people click on your link. Altho in the end it's all about that people get to know with Minerwars. The links only shows how many people you've got convinced to click on your linky

I think i've succeed because i get lots of postive responds about it. And it keeps staying on top of the list in the forums. Some people are a bit skeptical but those are the people you need to convince right now. I think it's because of the featured video on the homepage wich make them think like that. They don't expect it that the game will improve and this is everything you get to offer. Altho it's not the newest video around here i think the features video should be there instead.

Here is a list of some sites i've posted on just to show how i've done it:

Hey Orbiter! congratulations mate for your medal. I was outside when you reached the level so Marek had to do it :). I was working all day on getting the video for you guys together. Its being uploaded as we speak. Community as always will be the first to see it and tommorow PR bang! :)

I can't contribute on any of the above requirements, but i can contribute in other ways:

1. file hosting: I can provide an admin with limited ftp access to my server, this should help to decrease bandwidth for you guys as well as improve download speeds for users. I can upload the files myself if you wish, but giving you the option of doing this yourselves means it'll always be up to date without much effort on your part.

2.supplementary support: my website ( verbsleagues.co.uk ) has shedloads of cool functions built in php to offer web based stats, league tables, and dynamicaly generated signatures for users. No doubt these files would need to be edited to work for your game, but I'm happy to do that ( or just send you over the base files for you to work on yourselves). I've also got a beta GIS system in place which could also be modded. I've done this for several games ( the Evochron series and CS: S to name a couple ).

if any of this sounds useful I'll happily donate it, I'm not even looking for a medal......

The Space games are being developed left and right....after so many years of fantasy MMO's it is real nice to see more space ones..and this one seems real unique..In the few space games I have played(cough..eve...cough) I always leaned to the miner anyways :)

Dapto :) please use your affiliate link that you have under your username and ask guys to click on it. Any member of the alliance can get in too. No problem. its the top right part of the page called Profile. Please remember to use it thx!!

Darghan all i really can do is post your game in our forums, Anzac Alliance, IT Alliance, Meat Sausage Alliance, which i have done. I'm a senior member within Anzac and the IT Alliance and have many responsiblities and it takes alot of my time. I do not have the time to baby sit alliance members to make sure they click the right link so i can get a key.

FYI most of the IT Alliance guys i know are older and will see through this and see it as I'm only trying to get a key and purposely not do it because of that.

If I get a key great if I dont its not going to kill me, however the first beta key I get ie From BP, Naum, JGE, MW, is the one ill give my time to and try and help to make it a great game.

Hmm I have no emails at all and I did qualify in the top 24 ladder competition. I checked my profile and my email is correctly listed. I am busy with finishing up a fairly complex whole home AV install and plan on camping and playing Miner Wars as often as I can after I am done :D

I hope to help in testing Miner Wars as much as I can, so if someone could send a link to me for the private beta version I would appreciate it.

Well, I just started yesterday my SpredTheWordMission creating some threads about the game in some Portuguese Online Gamming Community Websites. The feadback i'm getting is not over the top, but is good enoufh.

Just did some thread necromancy over at Bay12Games letting them know about the impending beta :P That's a fairly active board that loves it's games with mining, being the home of Dwarf Fortress :P And never will you find a more dedicated group of fans to get on your side!

maybe your ideas got missed, i apologize as thats my job to catch. On the other hand, maybe the ideas are going in, and being kept secret. :X i cant say though as i am not the one to give out medals. all i can say is keep em coming, if we use an idea of yours you will receive proper credit.

So, as far as medal awards go are they manually awarded? I've been poking around on the website after I got my 250 clicks, and I suppose someone will just send me an e-mail regarding the closed beta download? I plan on getting more clicks I just wanted to play haha :O

I just joined like... probably a minute ago maybe less, and I read the very top post, but I am confused still, how do I get to play the closed beta? (This is what it's about right?) I have to get some sort of contribution/clicking medal? Or... what? Sorry I am very confused at the moment.

Ok here's how you get to get into the closed beta.1. You need a medal2. The quickest one to get is called a contribution medal and you get it by:- go to your profile (upper right hand side of this page)- find the address labeled 'Affiliate URL' (the address is right next to 'Affiliate URL'- post that URL in other forums until you get 250 people to click on it (say something like 'this is a really cool game that you guys should look into... details... examples... etc.) - once you get 250 clicks a Dev will give you a Medal and the instructions for the CBT (closed beta testing)

Woah, this thread is getting congested! Congratulations everyone!I believe you guys with (and who should be having) medals would like the info on access to the beta...I can help you with that, my computer broke down about a week ago, and I can't access that particular e-mail at the moment. But I'll do everything I can do, and I can do this ;) So for those of you who I can confirm has 250+ clicks, Shoot an e-mail to: memory_thief@hotmail.com

QUOTE: so i just got over 250 clicks for the STW award. how do i redeem this and will i gain access to the benchmark demo available in the downloads sections?

The 'benchmark demo' is available to everyone on the forums, regardless of medal. Remember to log in your profile ;) If you obtain 250+ clicks for the STW medal, you may redeem by shooting me an email, I can't log into the site to give you medals or check your emails ;\. Can't even check the email that most likely has your email already sent in it either ;(. Henk will have to come save the day for that ;) But I can get you beta access ;D.

Reclaimer117, you may have been junkfiltered, i've noticed a few names like yurix in there too, but I have to still make a list of those who got filtered, and i lost some of them... i'm trying to get to you guys asap, send me another email, until I see it ;p I get swamped with all kinds of stuff you wouldn't know....

QUOTE: you can get to 'profile' at the top right-hand corner of this page -> ^^^

(quoted)Oh my goddd... how can people get 1500 in a WEEK?!I mean, I can't even get 1... but they are all kind of hard.I hope I get an idea in... then I can take pride in helping a great game.(quoted)

Good attitude :D

Doesn't mean I don't want the game. With homework, assignments and stuff it'll be hard for me to even get 3 views (advertising on a chat got me... 2 views <:D)... but how can I do it fast?I don't like a game with everything disabled taking up space.

Hyperaxe: i would recommend making accounts on gaming forums and tgen putting your affiliate link in your signarure. That way whenever you post people have a chance of clickiing on your link. This will work especially if you post on popular forum threads. However make sure to contribute to the thread, or people may think your just trying to spam.

QUOTE: Zen, you hereby break the time-space barriers by quoting a post that was created after the quote. Congratulations.

Also, someone break Drakon's record... 8,000 in 24 hours ;)

What...but...but HOW?!8... THOUSAND in 24 hours?!?!?!This is madness!(waits for someone to randomly kick him into the PIT OF DEATH)I hope model sketches could count, because I happen to be reasonably good at sketching..

Something to do with a popular website crashed and his post about minerwars was under 'current posts' on the frontpage for like a day.

I'm sure any type of contribution is welcome, however, to maximize your chances of getting a medal I would suggest that when you sketch something you should make a back-story for it. (so it qualifies for the idea contribution medal)

So guys we have just awarded a ton of medals! Thx for all your hard work on spreading the word. We appreciate it very much. We will continue giving out spread the word medals for some time still. You should know though that the current limit of beta invites is in the middle. Please hurry if you want to take part in it. We will have some places free but limited. Anyway once again I would like to express my thanks to all that contributed and a special thx goes to Kerma who got his 3rd level medal and will be invited to join our team, have a game for free and some very special treats ingame such as his own personalised ship and other goodies.

Sweet! Thanks for level 2 medal, at this rate I'll get the level 3 medal in no-time! Though I don't count on it it'll be nice. Looking forward to the release of the game, even though it might take a while :)

Hey, I'm a nice guy =( no need to be kicking me down any pits.

Also the site wasnt down all day =P It was on the top of the site under gaming though for quite some time.

This game looks very interesting, can't wait to play. :) Btw. About those medal awards depending on views... I wonder, does this mean I can post my profile link on a website owned by me to spread the word?

No worries. :)I can see unique clicks so it seems to be working. Odd how I made my account yesterday and yet people have already found my link.Btw if there are any specific types of 3D models you want done, I can give it a go. ;)
